In 1950, for ex- ample, an agg'ressive Indian Superin- tendent named E. Reeseman Fryer began a survey of the possibility of put- ting in a duplicate irrigation system, \vhich would make the disputed ditches superfluous. McCarran terrified the In- dian Commissioner into transferring Fryer. The Pyramid Lake case was by that time a causr célèbre in Indian af- fairs, and the National Congress of American Indians protested the transfer to President Truman, who personally quashed it. McCarran was not done, howeve r . Four mon ths later, Fryer receIved an offer of a much better ap- pointment in the Technical Coöperation Administration. He accepted. McCar- ran was a member of the Appropriations Committee, and the T. C. A. was short of money. This was a small part of what I knew about the background of the Paiute case, and what I knew was a very small part of all that had happened. So when I heard the old boy say he had quit, I felt as if I were witnessing the with- drawal of the Roman legions from Britain-the first backward step of an empire. The Riverside-that warm, reassuring recess of Reno in which the Senator held court when he was home from "T ashington-was no longer a political scale model of the rest of Ne- vada, and he knew it. Down in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas and the even younger industrial town of Henderson, there was a new group of voters, for whom he had never done fa vors, and the population there was growIng faster than it was in the T ruc- kee and Carson River gar- den patch, which up to 1 945 had held more than half the voters in Nevada. Most of the southerners, be- ing newcomers to the state, were unimpressed by the Senator's old-style frontIer foofaraw. And in his own province his vindictiveness had alienated at least a third of his fel- low- Democrats. He had too often vio- lated the commandment to go easy on the fellows you beat, because you may need them next year. Even the Nevada press was no longer solidly his. Some years before, when an insignIficant weekly called the N rvada State News criticized him, he had been influential enough to induce its advertisers to boy- cott it, causing the editor to complain later, "I felt like a whore without a kimono.." (This was the paper that McCarran's friends bought, at a knock- down price.) But now there was a strong, crudely violent opposition paper in Las Vegas, the Sun, whIch was even reaching newsstands in Reno. And when McCarran tried the same tactics against it, he failed. The old man's heart, which had nearly given out late in 1 951, was functioning passàbly well, but the fear of another attack must have been with him, along with other fears more poignant. The grandeur to which he had grown accustomed late in life hung on his success in wheedling votes from ditch riders and cocktail waitresses. Getting elected in Nevada is small retail business. Perhaps to prove how good his health was, the Senator showed me large, glossy photographic scenes of a goose hunt he had been on with a fellow- Senator, Cordon, of Oregon-a Re- publican, of course. There the statesmen stood, like ritual butchers among the slaughtered poultry. But he had no more strength for his war with the Paiutes. ^ L TH 0 UGH Pyran1id Lake is only Il. thirty miles or so from Reno, when I returned to it after my talk with McCarran it seemed far more re- mote-as remote as the Late Stone Age from the Late Nylon-Chromium-Plas- tic. There it lay, coldly beautiful in early November, between the savage dJebels of the Lake and Virginia ranges. At the Pyramid Lake Guest Ranch, run by Harry and Joan Drackert, I found that the last divorcée of the year had de- parted. Bolivar, the Drackerts' old c;hepherd dog, wandered among the deserted cabins, mistily remembering the summer's handouts. In a corral at the top of the hillside pasture, Andy K., Harry's thoroughbred stallion, looked over the bars with distaste at his owner's bat- tered mares-good blood, but long in the tooth and holding no surprises. (The fashionable imported Irish and English studs, who hold court in California, get their pick of the sweet young things. For an old stallion, Nevada is an Elba.) In the bar, I found two or three Paiutes, together with some Me:xican section hands from the branch line of the Southern Pacific that runs behind the ranch and a couple of mustangers- who had been collecting wild horses for a dog-meat cannery. Four months earlier, Congress had passed a hill allowing Indians to buy hard liquor for the first time in over a hundred years, but the Paiutes were still faithful to pop. When the Indians heard my news about the Senator, they
